The author assumes that the question can be answered by applying principles of anatomy, physics and evolutionary biology. First reason he suggests is that cats are small and they have a favourable mass-surface area ratio. Next, he suggests that cats have soft tissues that absorb the shock and they land on all four limbs, dividing the shock. This is because of their body shape and its centre of gravity. He says that felines have this kind of body structure (that canines lack) because years of falling from trees etc. has evolved their body in this way.

makkiz [27]

Explanation

Radars are instruments that were created by humans to detect objects, people, places, among others, through signals. Radars are devices used in different fields such as war, aviation, climatology, geography, among others. One of the best known is the Doppler radar, which is a climatological tool that is used to detect the intensity, size, quantity, and direction of rainfall. Likewise, rainfall is influenced by the direction and speed of the wind, data that can also be obtained using this tool. One of the purposes for which this object was created was the early detection of natural phenomena related to rains, and winds such as hurricanes, electric storms, hail, among others. Therefore, the two objects that scientists can obtain with a radar are C. Amount of rainfall, and D. Wind speed.
